        so 6 is one and two symbols then.

        but when you search a tiny bit online you end up reading this

        The percent sign % is the symbol used to indicate a percentage, a number or ratio as a fraction of 100.

        confusing, there’s no right or wrong.

      Using the same argument, 10 is one symbol. It is the “ten” symbol.

      I’m just pointing out that it makes no sense to say that this system allows writing any number as one symbol.
